Accessibility Services Overview: What we can do for you….

Accessibility Evaluation

Web accessibility is not a trend it is the new standard.

As organizations’ websites, mobile applications and overall digital presence keep growing richer and more creative, they risk being less accessible to users with disabilities.

With an Accessibility Evaluation, we can provide your organization with the necessary information to achieve optimal accessibility to create and maintain an inclusive universally designed digital footprint.

Usability Testing

Companies may think their content is ready to launch, but it’s important to make certain that all potential customers can navigate content with ease before a release.

With our Usability Testing, we provide you with real-world experience and feedback from our team of skilled blind and visually impaired skilled Assistive Technology users.

They interact with your product, website or mobile application to provide a detailed report that includes their findings; giving you a clear understanding of any challenges that a person with disabilities may encounter.
